of children.

Artubine Joseph Jollett was my first cousin 3 times
removed.He was born the first child of
my second great grand uncle John Wesley Jollett and his wife Sarah Elizabeth
Smith.He lived his short life along
Naked Creek in Page County, Virginia. He is buried in the Jollett United Methodist Church Cemetery on the hill behind the church.

We have a Wednesday's Child feature on our news station - to help foster children find adoptive homes. Wonder what happened to Artubine. Was there a breakout of illness? Was he in some kind of accident? Curious post that makes me want to know more...

No, you don't. In one census, he's listed as Joseph O, as in Otterbein who was the founder of the United Brethren Church which merged with the Methodists. John Wesley Jollett was a Methodist minister, so I wonder if the name came from his appreciation of Phillip Otterbein. I don't know what happened with the spelling though.

Hi Wendy...I'm always drawn to infant and children headstones when I photograph headstones for Find A Grave. The older ones are very interesting. It's good that your little cousin's has important details...so many don't.
